Industrial disease claim

Industrial Disease

Industrial disease is when an employee contracts an illness whilst performing their duties at work. Industrial disease compensation is provided for those who have made an industrial disease claim against their employer when they have failed to put in place the safety precautions which could have prevented such illness.

Common industrial disease claims are:

Asbestos Related Disease Claims;

Hearing Loss Claims;

Mesothelioma Compensation Claims;

Other Industrial Disease claims;

Repetitive Strain Injury Claims;

Respiratory Claims;

Work-Related Asthma Claims; and

Work-Related Dermatitis Claims.

If the employee is in an environment where there is a lot of noise, dust, or fumes then it is the employer’s duty to minimize the aforementioned elements to a reasonable level. This is often done through provision of protective equipment.
